NullPointerException in AbstractPathImpl without source path
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-6119
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6119
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: entity-manager
    Affects Versions: 3.6.3
            Reporter: Michael Rudolf


Whenever an instance of org.hibernate.ejb.criteria.paths.AbstractPathImpl does not have a source path (e.g., a criteria query root), missing null checks cause NullPointerExceptions. This is the case, when the get(String) method is used to navigate to a child path and an invalid attribute name is given. In this case, an IllegalArgumentException should be thrown indicating that the attribute with the given name was not found. However, due to missing null checks a NullPointerException is provoked when constructing the IllegalArgumentException instance.
